Take Responsibility & Be Happy: Health Comes First (Part 2: Your Mind)

Tired of being average, or worse yet, unhappy with your life?

Reprogram your mind.

A healthy mindset is foundational to everything in life. As the old saying goes:

Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

In other words, you are what you think.

I started to pay attention to my thoughts and my mind. They were racing. I was on constant alert. I wasn’t relaxed. Even my chest and gut were tense – like a big ball of anxiety.

Reflecting on my thoughts, feelings, and who I had become, I realized that if I wanted to change then I had to focus on my thoughts.

I chose to change my thinking.

Meditation is the tool I used (still do) to create the new me. Meditation transforms our thoughts and our mindset.

Why? Because everything is created twice. Creation of anything first starts in someone’s mind and then it is created in real life. Think about it - this statement is true for everything.

Consider a car. It doesn’t suddenly start rolling off a production line. There are years of thousands of people creating and thinking about what it could be prior to its actual physical creation.

In the same way, changing yourself – in essence, recreating yourself – requires you to create what you want to be in your own mind first before you can become that new person.

I wanted to be positive, more relaxed, and happy.

So, I meditated that I was positive, relaxed, and happy.

Given the significant transformation in my health – both of mind and body – I truly believe:

• You are what you eat  +  You are what you think

So, what do you eat? What type of thoughts do you have?

Or better yet, what type of person do you want to be? What type of thoughts do you want to have?

Whatever that is – meditation will get you there.

It’s not easy and doesn’t happen overnight. But trust me, you can be whoever you want to be.
